Happy New Year! There are many things to accomplish for our students in 2018. One of these is our hearing screen for all kindergarten, first and third grade students. The hearing screens will occur during the day when your child is at school. The Registered Nurse at the school will be setting the time for these screenings with your child’s teacher over the next few weeks.

The hearing screens are performed to identify potential difficulties with hearing that can affect how a child is able to learn. If your child has a history of ear infections and treatment or you are aware of any hearing difficulties they have, please contact the school nurse as this will help in the screening process. If your child has any difficulties in the screening they will be re-screened in a few weeks. If, at that time, they have difficulty you will be contacted.
